damn, I dont think anyone saw this coming. Kinda makes sense though.

this one ugly cover



this one is better

hmm.. slightly underwhelming. Im not sure Hawkeye has ever warranted his own book... but he IS a badass character so I'll most definitely read it. Just seems a little weird though that he'd have a solo book. This DoSM arc must REALLY mess up more than Peter's life.. I knew something bigger was happening here.

I think both of them are sick...this series should be insane

[Balfro]

It's a mini-series, and it ties into Ultimates and X-Men as well as his past. It seems he might be more involved with the rest of the UU history more than we thought.

When you think about it Hawkeye is the Wolverine of the Ultimate Line (especially since Wolverine is dead).

"Jonathan will be doing stuff in Ultimate Comics Hawkeye that you'd have to cancel an entire franchise to do in the classic Marvel Universe"

Its as if Marvel is actively trying to provoke MarvelMaster616

On a more related note, I'm cautiously excited about this. A bit bummed we aren't getting a 4th ongoing. Which means no FF, since Spidey will most likely be the 3rd ongoing

Hawkeye will have a new costume that echoes the original Bryan Hitch design

I can see that... very true. He just hasnt been explored much since the death of his family in Ultimates 2. But, hey, at least we're getting fresh stories it seems, and Im all for more characterization.

BTW. anyone kno who did these 2 covers? I'm having a hard time narrowing down the artists

[Agemoi]

Its a mini.

oh my bad! Didnt know that. Either way though I was still going to read it lol. Thanks for the clarification!

[Skaddix]

Still i am disappointed only three ongoings. Unless spidey is seperate and we get a different fourth.

-Hickman says this is a "companion piece" to the Ultimates relaunch, happening consecutively with the events of Ultimates #1-4.
-"This is clearly Hawkeye-centric, and he is in the middle of a mission while Thor and Iron Man are in other missions in the main Ultimates books," Hickman continued, saying it culminates in what's the new direction for the Ultimates book.
- Hickman says there are "certain scenes" that tie the two books together, but you don't need to read both to understand one of them.
- Hawkeye will take place same time as the Ultimates title, and what makes Clint interesting for Hickman is his past and how he's the inside S.H.I.E.L.D guy.
- We'll get the full details of Hawkeye's past that Millar has teased and implied during the course of his writing. Hickman delivers the final notes.
- 4 issues long
- Something in Southeast Asia will kick off the series, what could happen there to make Nick interested? More super soldier deals?
- Will also tie-in with Spencer's Ultimate X-Men.
- Jonathan will be doing stuff in Ultimate Comics Hawkeye that you'd have to cancel an entire franchise to do in the classic Marvel Universe.
- Differences between the Marvel Universe S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Ultimate S.H.I.E.L.D.? Hickman said the Ultimate S.H.I.E.L.D. is more proactive and more powerful.
- Nick Fury, Jean Grey, the Hulk and plenty of new characters as supporting characters in the book.
- Jeph Loeb's Ultimate X's final issue (5 lol) will build up for Spencer's Ultimate X-Men.
- more Hitch-like costume for Hawkeye, getting back to the classics i take it.
- Ultimate Comics: Hawkeye is starting in August. Four-issue series.
